Net Nanny 6.5

Net Nanny 6.5 provides traditional parental control and so much more! From blocking profanity to resisting hacking and remote management tools, Net Nanny offers a wide range of computer monitoring services.

A unique feature of Net Nanny is a state-of-the-art parental notification system. Parents can be notified that their child has attempted to access a blocked site from anywhere in the world.  A message pops up on your child’s computer, warning them that this site is blocked.  If your child proceeds after this warning message, you will know about it!  Of course, parents can opt to block these sites if they choose.

Profanity is a major concern for many parents.  Net Nanny recognizes these words and replaces them with a series of characters. (Example: %@&!)  If your child is reading a news article, and someone has posted a comment with profanity, Net Nanny will replace that word, instead of blocking the whole website.  Many users love this great feature.

Parents can choose what to filter and what to allow.  Net Nanny is completely customizable.  If you’re unsure what to allow, Net Nanny comes with age-based profiles for Internet use.  Younger children will not be allowed to view the same websites as your teenage children.  Even this is customizable, parents have the final say in what they want to their child to do online. 

Overall, Net Nanny 6.5  provides cutting-edge technology with easy to use settings and terminology.  Whether or not your’re computer savvy, Net Nanny is one of the most comprehensive Internet monitoring products on the market.

Keeping your Children Safe on the Internet

In order to keep your children safe online, it is important that parents know some simple tips about online safety.  Remind your children not to provide any personal information, including but not limited to, their family situation, school, phone number or address. Children do have rights when it comes to Internet use. They are not required to give out private information to anyone, without the expressed permission of their parents. This includes websites from reputable companies.
 
Keep in mind that not everyone is who they say they are.  An example of this is a person might say they are 14 year old girl form Minnesota but in reality they are a 45 year old male from Nevada looking to meet under-age girls or boys. 

The biggest threat to security is making plans to meet with someone they met online. Always keep in mind that you never know for sure whether the people they meet online are who they seem. If your child feels that it is okay to meet someone in person that they met online, ensure that they talk with their parents beforehand and never go to the meeting alone. The safest method is to have parents talk with the parents of the other person. The parents should join their teen on the first meeting. Make plans to meet in a public place like a coffee shop or mall and NEVER go alone.

The Internet is useful and is a vast resource of information. With little or no effort, your child can come across sites that contain violent, hateful, and explicit sexual content. In addition, there are many sites that give instructions about how to make drugs, bombs, and other dangerous items. Make using the Internet a family activity. Place your computer in a family or living room and check the screen periodically. Be involved with what your children are doing online. Let them teach you about Internet if they are more familiar with it than you.

The internet is a great resource and by adhering to some simple online safety tips, your children should be allowed to navigate and explore the internet with confidence.

PC Tattletale- Computer Monitoring for Parents

PC Tattletale more than covers the basics.  It includes e-mail monitoring, chat room monitoring and can capture screen shots of the websites your child has visited. It also has a couple of extra features too. PC Tattletale can recognize certain URLs or keywords/phrases and block those dangerous sites. This feature is generally only found in more expensive products. Another important feature is an advanced screen shot system. A parent can “play back” screen shots and get a full view of what websites your child has visited. PC Tattletale can note the date, time, and user when the screen shot was taken.

A hidden password-protected directory is in place to prevent even the most tech-savvy teens from detecting this software. A parent can easily access this directory and can and quickly browse through the screen shots via VCR-like play. This includes fast forward and rewind controls. 

PC Tattletale is virtually invisible once installed. It will not appear on the Start menu, task bar, or the Windows Program Files folder. Children will not be able to uninstall PC Tattletale even if they happen to discover the program.  It is securely protected with an administrator password.
